"Honey, this, this..."
Xu Yan took out the vase that Chuan Rui had just stuffed into his pants, stuffed a jade ornament inside, and then the two continued their raid.
Chuanwu rubbed his hands together in disgust. "Father, Mother, how many clothes can you possibly carry on your person?"
?
The two looked back at their son in confusion, only to see him pull down a piece of silk cloth from the table, saying, "Use this; it holds more."
Most importantly, it's clean!
"My son is so smart!"
Chuan Rui and Xu Yan beamed with joy, turning the two-person sweeping team into a three-person sweeping team.
"Father, Mother, Brother, what are you doing?" Chuanwen propped himself up on his arms and looked at the three of them.
"Steal..." Xu Yan's slap on the forehead made Chuan Rui immediately change his words, "Girl, we can't have come to the Marquis's mansion for nothing."
We almost got scammed, so this should be considered their compensation for emotional distress!
However, we can't leave tonight. The Marquis's mansion is surrounded like an iron barrel, and no one can get out.
They had planned to leave early the next day, but fearing they would be scammed again, a few of them (excluding Chuanwen) forced themselves to stay awake until late at night before finally drifting off to sleep, and then slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up (including Chuanwen).
When I opened my eyes, the room was filled with maids and servants, which startled me so much that I almost jumped up.
"Young master and lady, we are here to help you with your washing up."
The leader was a maid with an ordinary appearance but a tall figure. She was dressed in clean and bright clothes and smiled respectfully at Chuanrui and his group of four.
Xu Yan had wanted to say that yesterday, the maids of that wealthy family were dressed better than the young lady of the county magistrate's family in their town.
Seeing the envy in Xu Yan's eyes, the maid said with a smile, "Young master and mistress, young master and young lady, get up quickly. Master and mistress are already waiting. Today they will introduce you to the people in the manor."
Why should we acknowledge anyone? Xu Yan suddenly lost interest; they should just run away as soon as possible.
Yes, the four of them slept in the same room. They were newcomers, and it was a ruthless and oppressive mansion. Only someone in their right mind would sleep in a separate room.
Xu Yan and Chuan Wen slept on the soft bed, while Chuan Rui and Chuan Wu slept on the table and chair respectively.
The maids and servants covered their mouths and chuckled at the sight. There were constant laughs during the washing and dressing process. However, once they were all dressed, the maids and servants couldn't help but be amazed by their beauty.
The Marquis of Changxing and his wife were both of above-average looks, and their first son inherited their good looks. Apart from his skin not being very fair, he was indeed a handsome middle-aged man with the air of a refined gentleman.
Xu Yan was initially attracted to his good looks and was willing to pay him anything to be with him. Of course, Xu Yan wasn't ugly either; she had dark eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a pert nose, and red lips. Because she rarely exposed herself to the sun and wind, her skin was fair, and when she wore silk and satin, she instantly exuded the air of a noble lady.
With this makeover, Chuanwu transformed from a simple country boy into a handsome young man, his clear, peach-blossom eyes like a pool of spring water, causing several young maids to blush.
Chuanwen was the most languid and eye-catching of the four. Her face was rosy and pink, still retaining a touch of baby fat. Her small, red lips were yawning, and her large, dark eyes were misty with a light layer of water, making her both cute and adorable. Wearing this dress, she looked like a jade maiden behind a bodhisattva.
The maids and servants couldn't help but look at him with amazement, and Chuanrui and the other two surrounded Chuanwen with pride.
"My daughter is so beautiful! When I get back, I must work hard to earn money so that my daughter can dress like this every day!"
The rough voice immediately dispelled the feeling of the gentleman being as elegant as jade...
“My daughter is beautiful even without dressing up,” Xu Yan rolled her eyes at Chuan Rui, then looked at her daughter with a gentle smile, “Daughter, you are indeed my daughter, you are beautiful!”
Only Chuanwu was deep in thought: "That Er Gou next door dares to pursue my little sister? He's dreaming! Wait, no, my little sister isn't a fart! No, I have to keep an eye on her, I can't let bad guys kidnap her!"
"Young master, young lady, let's go."
The maid in the lead was the first to react and respectfully led the four of them toward the Marquis of Changxing's courtyard.
In the living room, the two elderly people, Mr. and Mrs. Changxing, were still at the head of the table, but compared to their vigorous appearance yesterday, they both looked a bit haggard.
Sitting on the left below were a man and a woman, Chuanhai and his wife, Wang. Chuanhai had dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well the night before. Wang was in even worse shape, sitting there listlessly with empty, numb eyes and sunken eyelids, and tear stains at the corners of her eyes.
A man and a woman were sitting on the right. The man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face. He sat upright and seemed to have inherited Chuan Hai's composure, but his dark face betrayed his bad mood.
The girl was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a beautiful face and bright appearance. Although she was young, she already had a graceful figure. The melancholy between her brows added to the feeling of Daiyu's sorrow.
She glanced resentfully at the empty seat beside her—her younger brother's seat. But he was no longer in the manor. He had been beaten so badly last night; she wondered if her parents had sent a doctor to the estate or brought him the best medicine...
Chuanwen and the other three were brought in while she was distracted.
As soon as the four entered, the elderly couple, Marquis Changxing and his wife, were stunned. Their eyes were fixed on Chuanwu. They had thought Chuanwu looked familiar yesterday, and now that he had changed his clothes, they suddenly realized why he looked familiar. Chuanwu actually looked five or six parts similar to the younger version of Marquis Changxing!
However, the others did not know why the Marquis of Changxing and his wife were stunned. Chuan Hai looked at the two elders suspiciously, and then heard Chuan Wen's thoughts.
